“…The prevalence of orofacial pain symptoms was found to be 42.7 % in the present study among the patients reporting to the OPD of the Government Dental college which was found to be similar to the study done by Chung et al [4] (42 %), Allen et al [16] (41.6 %) and Locker and Grushka [17] (39.7 %) but the prevalence of orofacial pain symptoms was reported to be lower in the study by Riley et al [18] (17.4 %), Macfarlane et al [7] (26 %) and Aggarwal et al [19] (26 %). The higher prevalence in the present study might be related to the reduced dental awareness and reduced access to dental care among the Indian population because of the socio-cultural differences between the study population and the other populations used for comparison.…”

Background Pain is a major public health problem and is the most commonly reported symptom of oral and dental disease that has a significant impact on both individual and community. The present study was prevalence of various orofacial pain symptoms and their overall impact on the quality of life in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods This study was carried out in the outpatient department of the Government Dental College and Research Institute, Bangalore. The severity of the chronic orofacial pain symptoms was assessed using the Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire by Von Korff. ResultsThe results showed that toothache (57.6 %) was the most commonly reported symptom and burning mouth sensation (6.4 %) was the least commonly reported. Majority of the patients had grade 3 level of pain-related disability (34.8 %) followed by grade 2 (26.8 %), grade 1 (22.4 %) and grade 4 levels (16 %). The mean pain intensity was reported to be more among females and maximum among patients with facial pain. Conclusion The present study demonstrated that orofacial pain symptoms have a significant impact on the patients suffering from it. Therefore, proper measures should be taken for the management of the patients with these symptoms and associated conditions.

“…A study done in Canada showed that 70% of the population do not know that good oral health can mean better levels of general health 8 . As in others studies 2,3 , no statistically significant difference was observed between clinical oral conditions and the results of the generic SF-36 questionnaire. This finding reveals the specificity of the OHIP-49, since it is designed to measure the effects of oral problems on the quality of life.…”

ABSTRACT:The aim of this study is to develop a Portuguese version of the OHIP-49 to be used in Brazil. The adopted methodology involves translation, back-translation, revision of the fi rst version, cultural adaptation and evaluation of its measurement properties. The questionnaire was administered in interviews with 60 year-old and older Brazilian people. The Kendall-tau correlation coeffi cient was used to assess reproducibility; the Cronbach α coeffi cient was used to verify internal consistency and the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to assess validity. Reproducibility was shown to be statistically signifi cant, with coeffi cients ranging from 0.72 to 0.74 between dimensions of three interviews. The Cronbach α coeffi cients were 0.96 and 0.90 respectively for the dimensions of the interviews and for total items. Constructive validity, demonstrated through a comparison between the questionnaire dimensions and the clinical parameters, showed statistical signifi cance for "presence of carious lesion" (p < 0.05). Signifi cant correlations between similar dimensions of the OHIP-49 and the SF-36 were also identifi ed (p < 0.05). In the present sample, the Portuguese version of the OHIP-49 presented results similar to those found in the literature and proved to be a reproducible and valid parameter for evaluating the impact of oral conditions on the quality of life of Brazilians. DESCRIPTORS:Oral health; Quality of life; Validation studies. RESUMO:O objetivo deste estudo é desenvolver uma versão na língua portuguesa do OHIP-49 para ser utilizado no Brasil. A metodologia utilizada consiste de tradução, tradução de volta e revisão da tradução inicial, adaptação cultural e avaliação das propriedades de medida. O questionário foi aplicado, por meio de entrevistas, em brasileiros com 60 ou mais anos. Utilizou-se o coefi ciente de correlação Kendall-tau para testar reprodutibilidade, coefi ciente α de Cronbach para consistência interna e testes de Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney para validação. A reprodutibilidade demonstrou ser estatisticamente signifi cante, com os coefi cientes variando de 0,72 a 0,74, entre as dimensões de três entrevistas. Os coefi cientes α de Cronbach foram iguais a 0,96 e 0,90, para as dimensões das entrevistas e para o total de itens, respectivamente. A validade construtiva, demonstrada pela comparação das dimensões do questionário com os parâmetros clínicos apresentou-se estatisticamente signifi cante para "presença de lesão cariosa" (p < 0,05). Foram identifi cadas correlações signifi cantes entre dimensões similares do OHIP-49 e do SF-36 (p < 0,05). Nesta amostra, a versão em português do OHIP-49 apresentou resultados semelhantes aos da literatura, demonstrou ser um parâmetro reprodutível e válido para avaliar impactos das condições bucais na qualidade de vida de brasileiros. DESCRITORES: Saúde bucal; Qualidade de vida; Estudos de validação. INTRODUCTIONUntil recent decades, oral epidemiology has used clinical indicators within a normative system for determining therapeutic ne...

“…According to Allen et al (1999) 31 , the specific problems of instruments related to oral health allow for better measurement of quality of life aspects than the generic instruments of quality of life, such as the SF-36 (Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey). Allen and McMillan (2003) 32 also utilized the OHIP and SF-36 instruments to measure the impact of dental treatment on the quality of life of adult individuals and found that the constructs that allow the measurement of specific aspects related to oral health are more sensitive than the instruments that focus on general health.…”

Objective: To investigate if there is convergent validity between the dimensions of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brief Version (WHOQOLBref) and the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a random sample of 872 elderly Southern-Brazilians was evaluated. Questionnaires assessing sociodemographic data and quality of life in general (WHOQOL-Bref ) and oral healthrelated quality of life (OHIP-14) were used. Analysis of the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 questionnaires used descriptive statistics. The dimensions of the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 questionnaires were correlated by affinity. The convergence between WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 dimensions was analyzed by Spearman's correlation coefficients. Results: The social relations dimension of the WHOQOL-Bref presented the greatest mean (18.24 ± 2.30). The physical pain dimension of the OHIP-14 presented a median of 1.0 (0.0 -3.0). All correlations between the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 dimensions were significant, negative and associated with a low magnitude. The correlation between WHOQOL-physical and OHIP-functional limitation, OHIP-physical pain, OHIP-physical disability and OHIPhandicap were -0.164, -0.262, -0.196 and -0.125 respectively. WHOQOL-psychological was associated with OHIP-psychological discomfort and OHIP-psychological disability, and WHOQOL-social showed an association with OHIP-social disability. Conclusions: All correlations analyzed had a positive association of low magnitude. Despite the fact that the WHOQOL-Bref and OHIP-14 instruments have related dimensions, they measure physical, psychological and social relations differently. Keywords
